> [@jackdavinci](#): > > Ask: what normally unusual for their gender attribute, attire, or behavior, do you actually find sexy? (i.e. not shaving armpits for women or long hair on men, etc.)? I tend to like short hair and no cosmetics in women. But it’s hard to name a lot of things off hand since there are a lot fewer things that are really verboten for women in the eyes of men to begin with. I mean I guess you could list flannel shirts and biker boots but that would probably at most be a turn off. The list for most women is probably fairly long. I’m sure many take one look at my long hair and moonstone ring and if they don’t visibly roll their eyes are at least disinterested. Bitches hate competition (kidding)🆒 Ask: What type of cat would you be reborn as? ---

Answer: I am not a fan of cats. I would like to be reborn as a cat in a box containing a bottle of poison and caesium atom. Ask: What is your favorite book? ---

> [@Didact\_Lectorem777](#): > > Answer: I am not a fan of cats. :eek: > [@Didact\_Lectorem777](#): > > Ask: What is your favorite book? [Hesse’s Demian](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demian). Read that in HS before I had any idea who Carl Jung was or had any exposure to ideas like the collective unconscious. But it was really the images and mood it painted that I remember. Ask: Which movie improved most on the book on which it was based. ---

Answer: The Golden Compass. While I don’t really care for the books, the movie centered on the FX and left out any real characterization and plot the book had. Bonus points for Constantine (with Keanu Reeves), since they couldn’t even pronounce his name properly. Ask: Ever go scuba diving? ---

_ **Field of Dreams** _ was, on the whole, a lot better than the smug novel _ **Shoeless Joe** _. If practical considerations (money, feeding, maintenance, et al.) were no object, what kind of animal would you LIKE to have as a pet? ---

Answer: I’ve always loved cheetahs. Beautiful animals. I’d want him (or her) to have plenty of room to run around, though, and my backyard is waaaaay too small for that. Ask (since overlooked earlier): Ever go scuba diving? ---
